            A term only spoken by retarded [mouthbreathers] over the age of 18.

            • used when doing mundane tasks such as filing taxes, going to work, daily chores, etc.

            • used when partying as an adult, but actually acting like a child.

                A [fake word] used by idiots (millennials mainly), in an attempt to turn the adjective adult into a verb in a feeble attempt to describe if a person is actually an adult or behaves in an adult manner and thus doing the things any [responsible adult] with an average or above IQ can handle. You cannot adult something. It is as bad or worse as the overuse of [learnings] in the corporate world.
